Now this is a great video, you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll find screws you never even knew were there... And in the end the hot will be hot, and the cold will be cold!
Had this issue for about three years. I came across this video by accident and decided to give it a try. Dealer charged $68.00 for the actuator but it was well worth it. It worked perfectly. Thanks for posting it was a lot of help.
Thanks for this video. My wife's car is a 2007 Rondo, so probably very similar design. Today I noticed the control for which position to direct the air is working, but I can hear clicking, like plastic gear noise, so I might need to replace 1 of those actuators, if it ever breaks. With all of the air bags in that car, I think I would feel safer if I disconnect the battery while poking around in that area. Those plastic pry tools are a very good addition to a do-it-yourself person's collection of tools.
Yes, it's indeed a lot involved. Mine, had both sides' (left and right) temperature control actuators not working and I had to go into a lot of troubles to replace them.
Thank you so much for taking the time to put this video together. My wife's van is doing the same thing and the winter is coming. You are going to make me look good when I replace it for her! One quick question....why does Amazon tell me that the part number you used doesn't fit my vehicle? My wife has a 2008 Hyundai Entourage. Same vehicle. I can't seem to find anything that says it fits her vehicle. Except OEM Hyundai.
Thank you Scott for the quick reply. I went back to Amazon and read the reviews and everyone is using on Hyundais and Kias of the same year model. I just ordered one and will watching your video about 27 more times while I am putting the part in my wife's van.
Great video! I just have one question. When you plug in the new actuator does it automatically move to the setting your temp is set at? Or do you need to have the temp set at either an extreme high or low and set the new actuator in that position before installing? Thank you
@@themarginalmechanic5928 Great!!! Thanks for the info. However, will the part # be the same as the passenger side? I noticed that this side is the 604-307 and Amazon sells the 307 and 308. I assume that the 308 is the drivers side actuator.
I took it apart and put on the new blend door actuator but still no heat. When I raise the door or that gray piece the car gets warm. Does it need lubrication or is it just a bad part?
Sooo.... Is the drivers side actuator on the opposite side? I have a 2012 Sedona, the drivers side is going bad. Im looking for an instruction video on that... Im mechanical, but not keen to tearing apart dashes lol. But.. looks like I'm going to have to so i can make a happy wife.
So I just installed this part. My passenger side was ice cold and driver's side was functionality sound. After I installed the new part the passenger side is luke warm when on High temp and it doesn't blow as hard as the driver's side now. When comparing the sides to each other the driver's side is twice as hot. I've double checked my work and I think the module is not pushing the rod up all the way. How do I calibrate the module? I've tried removing it and reinstalling it as well as turning the gray piece manually with the module off but it won't turn without a lot of force and I don't want to break it. Any help is appreciated!
Scott L yeah I did that and it definitely moves up and down but when I moved the rod manually it was equally as hot as the driver side and it appears there is still quite a bit of travel left on the gray piece when it's on high temperature.
Hi I’m a lady and I’m trying to do this on my own when removing all screws should I label them in a bag so I won’t get confused and also where do I find the part?
I did do the driver side and it was very easy I didn't really have to take anything apart. I think I'd mention that in some other comments in case there's more detail there. Don't forget this was years ago so I don't really remember everything I did
@@Torontovsky_odesit The drivers side is much easier to get to. If I remember correctly it's on the right side of the steering wheel, that's if your sitting in the driver's seat. You'll have to lay on your back and wiggle your arm to reach the door actuator. A bright light and a magnetic phillips screw driver is a must. I lost 2 of the 3 screws. I'd test it out before I reinstall the new one. On a sidebar, when I took the old actuator down, I applied a little gear grease to it and it started working. Make sure you put some in the new one. Good luck. 👍🏽
On my 2005 KIA Sedona LX the A/C works, but when the heater is turned on it only blows out cold air. What all do i need to fix this problem?! Please help.
So my wife’s Sedona does the same thing she tries to put the heater on and only the passenger side is blowing air so this is the part that I need to replace someone told me that it’s the heat element does that make sense
There is no heating element in the sense of there being individualized electric units in this van. There is a heater core that allows hot coolant to transfer through it and air is blown across it through the ducts. If you get heat on one side the heating system itself is working just fine it's a matter of air flow control.
@@scottlove1609 ,, On my Kia sportage 2007. blend temp door (shown in this video) is on the passenger side. Defrost/foot/dash actuator "motor" is on the driver side. look up to the right of the gas pedal. there is a small motor with a connector, mounted on top of a "white cog" wheel. the wheel rotates and moves 3 levers for desired airflow. 3 screws hold the motor (one of which you need a small 90degree offset philips) to remove, otherwise more vents will be removed and i did not do that. purchased my part from rockauto.. check my model of kia on their site to see what i bought.
Well what a difference between a 2002 and a 2007. Our Sedona is way easier to get to But you still need to remove the passenger side dash, glove box and the complete center dash. Its a shame No one has had issues with the actuat to r and im too vulgar to video myself replacing it. Great try though.

4 1/2 hours, $69, WD 40, a extra screw and a cut finger everything is now working. I have a 2008 Hyundai Entourage. Thanks for all your help.

Thanks Scott!!! I just fixed my 2008 Sedona. Couldn't have done it without this video. If you are ever in Ottawa Canada - I'll buy you a beer! :
Thank you Sir! Happy wife! Two hours of work and a few extra screws left.
That "all you Jeep Grand Cherokee owners" -shot went straight through my heart.
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to put it together. It allowed me to replace the actuator for my 2008 Hyundai Entourage.
I just sprayed a little WD 40 on it and it moved. Now I'm testing to see if tr he old one works. Thanks for getting back.
Exactly my problem with a 2010 Sedona. I appreciate your awesome video!
Just fixed mine watching your video👍🏻 thank you very much
Thanks your video is clear and especific
Very helpful video, thanks! Although European version, Kia Carnival, is slighly different near the potentiometer.
Yes, it's indeed a lot involved. Mine, had both sides' (left and right) temperature control actuators not working and I had to go into a lot of troubles to replace them.
Thank you very much!! This video helped me out a lot. I really appreciate it 😎👍
Perfect, thanks alot
Excellent video👌💯💯👍👍
Had me going with the tools for a second

When i saw all of the sockets i was like 😳😳😳😳😳did you forger to mention more tools are needed?😂😂
Fantasic
But mine is a UK car right hand drive 🚗
Does this operate only one side
Advise from anyone pls
Answers are in the video!
Michael Hartzell got a 2003 adjustes between everything but defrost. Any suggestions? How does one diagnose the cause of the issue?
great video
So mine works fine , thought it was it but i still hear the clunking sound passenger side by the top of the dash when i turn the vehicle off
Nice Job, Is there a similar unit on the other side for the driver's side?
How did you know it was the heat actuator door failing? Code or process of elimination?
Hi there. I have the same problem, but on the driver's side, does that mean I need to look for the same servo on the driver's side?
Great video! I just have one question. When you plug in the new actuator does it automatically move to the setting your temp is set at? Or do you need to have the temp set at either an extreme high or low and set the new actuator in that position before installing? Thank you
Awesome. Thank you very much. I just ordered mine today
Scott, would you say there would be another actuator on the other side? I am having the exact same problem but with the drivers side.
@@themarginalmechanic5928 Great!!! Thanks for the info. However, will the part # be the same as the passenger side? I noticed that this side is the 604-307 and Amazon sells the 307 and 308. I assume that the 308 is the drivers side actuator.
Can anyone direct me to where I can buy this part online? I am having trouble finding one, especially one that ships to Canada.
I took it apart and put on the new blend door actuator but still no heat. When I raise the door or that gray piece the car gets warm. Does it need lubrication or is it just a bad part?
Where is the driver side one? Same spot?

Scott, this includes the passenger side defroster too right?
great video but it's a damn shame how they make stuff so difficult to get to so u have to bring it back to the dealer
Did you ever look at or try the driver side ? I had the passenger side fail now it seems the drivers is bad as well a few years later
I did do the driver side and it was very easy I didn't really have to take anything apart. I think I'd mention that in some other comments in case there's more detail there. Don't forget this was years ago so I don't really remember everything I did
Hey Scott, now my drivers side went out. Do you know if I have to go through all of this to get to that side or just removal of the center console?
@@themarginalmechanic5928 Thanks so much again for your help.

@@DBLG65 thanks a lot👍
Purchased 2 parts neither one works. When I move the door manually the heat comes on.
What do you do if it is the lever?
On my 2005 KIA Sedona LX the A/C works, but when the heater is turned on it only blows out cold air. What all do i need to fix this problem?! Please help.
No, your video did help, i now know how to get to where the parts are located at. I am just trying to figure out if i need both sides or not.
Yes, they both blow out the same temperature
ok, what are the part numbers and names for both parts?
I think you forgot to check it before collecting details )
@@themarginalmechanic5928 i just tried to joke but my english is bad . Thank you for video ! Good luck )
So my wife’s Sedona does the same thing she tries to put the heater on and only the passenger side is blowing air so this is the part that I need to replace someone told me that it’s the heat element does that make sense
If only the passenger side is blowing air then that's a different problem. This is a video about hot versus cold air
I meant to say when my wife tried to turn on the heater blows cold air but the driver side does have hot air
Yes so this video is exactly the video you need to watch

About how long does the disassembly take?
@@themarginalmechanic5928 lol..thanks for the exact time.
Hey Scott.I have a Kia sorento.u think if is any different.than your van..?
I can't switch the vents from defrost to foot or dash. Is it the same part
Scott L thanks for the response.
wow, this is my problem also.. looking for solution
I need the answer to this same question! Your response isn’t showing up though. Does this actuator control what vents the air comes out of?

Как можно прослушать ваше видео на русском языке
What about the other one for the driver side
The driver side one is super easy to get to. Look under the dashboard on the driver side and it's right there on the HVAC unit
Thanks so much I really appreciate it
@@themarginalmechanic5928 I changed both of them everything working great thanks for telling me I appreciate it
